It is characterized by a narrowing of the thoracic aorta usually just distal to the left subclavian artery. It is more common in males, with a ratio of 2 to 3:1. The clinical presentation consists of hypertension in the upper limbs and reduction of pulses in the lower limbs. The traditional treatment is open surgical repair; however, endovascular techniques have been used, with good results. We report the case of a 24-year male patient with a seven-year history of claudication of the lower limbs and difficult to treat arterial hypertension, secondary to aortic coarctation, successfully treated with angioplasty and aortic endograft. 2012 artículo científico 1677-5449 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=245023701005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2450 Jornal Vascular Brasileiro application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Angiologia e de Cirurgia Vascular Jornal Vascular Brasileiro (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.11 |
